Prehistoric peoples refers to ancient human populations that lived before written records were kept. They existed during the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods, using stone tools and eventually developing agriculture and settling in communities. Studying prehistoric peoples helps researchers understand human evolution and early civilization.
The advancement in the study of prehistoric people has grown through the use of innovative technologies such as DNA analysis, isotopic analysis, and 3D scanning. These methods have allowed researchers to gain new insights into prehistoric lifestyles, migration patterns, diets, and social structures. Additionally, interdisciplinary approaches involving fields such as archaeology, anthropology, genetics, and geology have expanded our understanding of prehistoric peoples.
Another name for the Prehistoric Era is the Stone Age.
The study of prehistoric humans and prehumans is called paleoanthropology. It involves examining fossils, artifacts, and other evidence to understand the evolution and behavior of early human ancestors.
